don't quite understand

this which we have listed as "Centaure" aren't they a SALEV model , like here ??
[Image: untitled.849.jpg]


Mini camion / Chariot automoteur de collection des années 1960 - Salev Centaure
Marque SALEV
Modèle CENTAURE
Moteur Renault Dauphine "Ventoux" 4 cylindres en ligne de 845cm³ révisé complètement (vitesse de 28 km/h)

then this and the other 2 "Centaure" should have Salev as make

Not many Google results for Salev Centaure, I don't know if they quickly sold them as Centaure make (but it was still made by Salev) or if it is just a common error to associate both names. I would not rely on Leboncoin as a source of info (except for photos of courses), that's just a market place site like Ebay.

On /vehicle.php?id=365235 Sixcyl says it is a competitor of Salev. I don't know if he means it is indeed a rival make, or if he says that just as "same kind of vehicle".

There is the one with a Salev badge: /vehicle_1889342-Salev-Centaure-1960.html
So the make is sure, but is the Centaure model name accurate?

The only reference I found is http://www.dauphinomaniac.org/Moteurs/Salev/Salev.htm that you also found for /vehicle_811214-Salev-Centaure.html

@mike962 @antp > In my opinion, "Centaure" was an independent brand at the beginning and was bought by Salev later.
When you look at the two versions of the vehicle, the Salev version has the windshield divided into two parts while the Centaure version is in one part.

^ if we apply this then this seems "original" Centaure ?

/vehicle_79073-Salev-Centaure.html

and this one not a Centaure at all looks way too different ,maybe not even that worth listing

Indeed, that one seems something else.
For the remaining Salev Centaure, maybe we should put them back to Salev unknown, or just Salev without model name is maybe enough, at least for those with Salev written on them.
